So I have this coral that has four heads that grew on the shell believe it is on a snail shell. I have been wanting to frag out the four heads what would be the best way to do so?

Its a shroom. I would personally get a dremel or even bone cutters and just cut the shell.

Okay is there any way of getting the shroom off the shell?

You can try to gently peel its foot off but using a credit card but it would be just easier to cut the shell and cuase less damage.
 
I've had luck slicing the head of the polyp completely off. The remaining foot regrew a healthy shroom and provided me a new frag.
